{Party at the Getty? Yes, please.}

For the last few months I have had the amazing opportunity to help plan 

this year's College Night at the Getty, 

an annual event
 {it's free! and  there will be a band, photobooth...etc}
that is taking place April 16th. 

If you are a college student in the LA area:

COME! IT. IS. GONNA. BE. AWE.SOME.
okaythanks.

I am on the Content Planning Committee,
{along with Liz and Carmella}
and over the last few months I have been invited, as well as other students from local colleges who make up the other committees, to go to the Getty and have meetings in "restricted areas" and "authorized personnel only" conference rooms to give our input for the event. très swanky. 

Back in January my committee was given a mini-backstage-tour of the Getty restoration area. My favorite part was seeing the old lamp-post banners from past exhibits that line the main hallway {which may I add, had been painted a bea-u-ti-ful shade of eggplant...basically the underground areas are just an extension of the museum itself}

The exhibits, Herb Ritts: LA Style and Portraits of the Renown, {which are the exhibits featured during College Night and the theme of the event} opened last Monday, April 2nd and all the committee students were invited to attend the opening reception. 

It was a stellar event and I was so grateful for the opportunity to have a wonderfully swanky and fun night at the Getty. 

What a great start to the new quarter! 

And of course, dressing up was a must... 

I never, ever miss an occasion to dress up....

As we arrived at the Getty, Katie aptly shared one of her favorite quotes: 

When we first arrived, we immediately found Tony and China, two of the Getty people who we work with during our College Night meetings. They are so incredibly nice and warm and funny. Tony was making us giggle when he was telling us of his keen positioning of the spotlight on the cupcake table.  

Everyone who works at the Getty has such a nice attitude 

and have been so enthusiastic about everything, 

it makes me want to work there when I grow up. 

 Photos from the wonderful night!

I absolutely loved the night and loved the opportunity to attend 

such an amazing {and grown-up} party!

Thanks Getty!

Can't wait for College Night!!!
